Data & Analytics

Revenue, margin, inventory and headcount are defined a little differently in each system and each report. We agree the definitions, bring SAP data together with everything else under proper controls, and give leaders reporting they can rely on.

Data, analytics & transformation

Why leadership teams bring this to us

Finance data lives in SAP; customer, workforce and market data live elsewhere. Every reconciliation takes time, finance and operations bring different numbers to the same meeting, and every disagreement chips away at trust in the numbers.

What the service covers

  • Data strategy and governance

    Ownership, definitions, quality standards and lifecycle for each data domain.

  • SAP data integration

    Governed extraction and modeling of SAP data into an enterprise data platform, keeping its business meaning intact.

  • Reporting and business intelligence

    Executive and operational reporting built on shared definitions, with self-service where it helps.

  • Metric harmonization

    Agreed definitions for the measures leadership uses, each with an owner.

  • Data foundations for AI

    The quality, lineage and access controls AI use cases depend on.
